Pre-release terms that do not outrun the product.

A user must be authorized to act for the business they join and must keep account access secure. The business is responsible for its members, connected accounts, instructions, approvals, and the legality of data it directs Cortex to process. Do not connect an account or supply content the business lacks authority to use.

Cortex connects owner-selected business systems, creates company-isolated searchable memory, answers questions with sources, prepares briefs and drafts, and runs configured agents. Availability depends on the connected provider, the selected history window, model route, budget, and feature configuration. A parked, paused, preview, or needs-configuration state is not completed work.

New partner agents start Draft only. The owner may later choose stricter approvals or grant a bounded autonomy mode where the product offers it. Every provider mutation still passes through the audited write gateway, owner guardrails, and standing instructions. Users must review recipients, facts, amounts, and attachments before approving an external action.

Model output can be incomplete or wrong. Source links, confidence, owner verification, approval controls, and dispute paths support review; they do not replace it. Cortex does not provide legal, tax, accounting, employment, lending, or other professional advice, and a user remains responsible for decisions and communications made for the business.

The business keeps its rights in the data it supplies. It instructs Cortex to process that data to provide, secure, and operate the service. The privacy notice explains connected-service access and controls; the data-processing page identifies the current technical service chain. Final controller, processor, retention, transfer, and notice commitments belong in the executed agreement rather than being invented here.

Do not use Cortex to violate law or another person’s rights; gain unauthorized access; evade provider limits; distribute spam, malware, or deceptive content; make prohibited credit decisions; train models from Google user data; or weaken company isolation, approvals, audit, rate limits, or security controls. The operator may pause an unsafe route or access while investigating a credible risk.

Any fee owed by a design partner is the fee in its executed order. Public pricing and the ROI calculator describe product mechanics but are not an invoice. Estimated value and time saved remain separate from settled value; Cortex does not bill an estimate as a cash outcome.

A business may stop using connected sources and may request a complete company export through the authenticated owner or admin path. A company owner may use the exact-company confirmation flow for deletion. Connection revocation stops future access but is not the same operation as deletion of synchronized Cortex records. Executed agreements and applicable law may add notice, legal-hold, return, or backup obligations.

Cortex does not use this page to fabricate a warranty, service level, indemnity, liability cap, dispute forum, governing law, or certification. Those terms require the identified legal operator, counsel review, and an executed agreement. Until then, a founder must not describe the design-partner service as carrying those commitments.
